I have been sorting through some photos from the estate of well known
tram enthusiast Norm Cross and came across the attached.

Sorry about the stippled pattern - I only have prints and they are on

469, built some 50 years earlier was on an ARHS fan tour and is passing
fairly new Z1 number 60 (which was probably also on.

It only took 5 decades for the design to catch on in Melbourne!
